Additional Safety Precautions and Warnings

Age Recommendation: Not for children under 14 years. This is not a toy.

As the user of this product, you are solely responsible for operating it in a manner that does not endanger yourself and others or result in damage to the product

or the property of others.

This model is controlled by a radio signal that is subject to interference from many sources outside your control. This interference can cause momentary loss of

control so it is advisable to always keep a safe distance in all directions around your model, as this margin will help to avoid collisions or injury.

Never operate your model with low transmitter batteries.

Always operate your model in open spaces away from full-size vehicles, trafﬁc and people.

Carefully follow the directions and warnings for this and any optional support equipment (chargers, rechargeable battery packs, etc.).

Keep all chemicals, small parts and anything electrical out of the reach of children.

Moisture causes damage to electronics. Avoid water exposure to all equipment not speciﬁcally designed and protected for this purpose.

Never lick or place any portion of your model in your mouth as it could cause serious injury or even death.

The Battery Charger included with the Radian Pro has been designed to safely

charge the Li-Po battery. You must read the following safety instructions and

warnings before handling, charging or using the Li-Po battery.

CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly.

Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in a ﬁre, personal injury, and/or

property damage.

The ParkZone Radian Pro is a follow-on to the Radian. Designed with the experienced sailplane pilot in mind, the Radian Pro is equipped with 5-channels

out of the box, including ailerons for a more precise soaring experience and ﬂaps for more glide path control. This aircraft delivers ﬂight performance that

you might expect from the traditional competition sailplane, without the construction work. Available in both Bind-N-Fly® and Plug-N-Play® completion

levels, this plane can be ready to ﬂy in as little time as it takes to charge the battery.

The Battery Charging Process

1. Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or

punctured.

2. Attachtheinputcordofthechargertotheappropriatepowersupply(12Vaccessoryoutlet).

Binding Procedure Reference Table

1. Read transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).

2. Make sure transmitter is powered off.

3. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port in the battery compartment.

4. ConnecttheightbatterytotheESC.ThereceiverLEDwillbegintoashrapidly.

5. Move the transmitter controls to neutral (ﬂight controls: rudder, elevators and ailerons) or to low positions

(throttle, throttle trim, and ﬂight control trims).*

6. Power on the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button or switch. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or switch

instructions.

7. Whenthereceiverbindstothetransmitter,theESCsignalswithaseriesofsounds.Theseriesofsoundsisalongtone,thenthree(3)short

8. Remove the bind plug from the receiver in the battery compartment.

9. Safelystorethebindplug(someownersattachthebindplugtotheirtransmitterusingtwo-partloopsandclips).

10. The receiver should keep the binding to the transmitter until another binding is done.

* The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the lowest position.

If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and refer to transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed, contact the ap-

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent

trickle discharge. For short term storage keep batteries fully charged. For long

term storage keep 1/2 charged. During storage make sure battery charge does

notgobelow3Vpercell.

Installing a Receiver

Battery Selection and Installation

1. Install your park ﬂyer or full range receiver in the fuselage using hook and

loop tape or double-sided servo tape.

2. Attach the elevator, aileron, ﬂap and rudder servo connectors to appropriate

channels of the receiver.

3.AttachtheESCconnectortothethrottlechannelofthereceiver.

1.WerecommendtheParkZone1300mAh11.1VLi-Pobattery(PKZ1033).

2.Ifusinganotherbattery,thebatterymustbeatleasta1300mAhbattery.

3.Your battery should be approximately the same capacity, dimensions and

weight as the ParkZone Li-Po battery to ﬁt in the fuselage without changing

the center of gravity a large amount.

Turn the clevis clockwise or counterclockwise on the connector. Make sure

transmitter trims are centered before making this adjustment.

CAUTION: Always remove the ﬂight battery from the aircraft when you

are done ﬂying, or when you are on the way to the ﬂying ﬁeld.

Flying

Always choose a wide-open space for ﬂying your ParkZone Radian Pro. It is

ideal for you to ﬂy at a sanctioned ﬂying ﬁeld. If you are not ﬂying at an ap-

proved site, always avoid ﬂying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You

should also avoid ﬂying in areas where there are many people, such as busy

parks, schoolyards, or soccer ﬁelds. Consult local laws and ordinances before

choosing a location to ﬂy your aircraft. For more information about sailplane

ﬂying, thermals and slope lift, refer to www.horizonhobby.com.

Flaps

The ﬂaps on the Radian Pro are primarily used for

glide path control. The ﬂaps allow for more drag and

additional lift to allow the plane to ﬂy slower and

descendatasteeperrate.Withtheapslowered,

the Radian Pro can land in much smaller areas than

would be able otherwise. The ﬂaps cause the Ra-

dian Pro to pitch up if deployed at higher speeds. If

using a transmitter without elevator/ﬂap mixing it is ad-

visable to deploy the ﬂaps at lower airspeeds to prevent the pitch up when

theapsarelowered.Withtheapsdeected,aileroneffectivenessisslightly

reduced.
